11 SEP 2021 SAC with following information, posing questions about the nickname that was entered by the original creator of the memorial, suggesting that his identify has been confused, so keep this in mind with regard to Mr. Bell: "Chicken Trotter, who could neither read nor write, was not the same person as D. J. Bell, who COULD read and write. Chicken Trotter signed the Treaty of Bird's Fort with his sign, because he could not write his name. There are many documents out there that show D. J. Bell's signature. They are two different people. "~
